US Government (Wednesday, September 27, 4th period)
Josh had gone through four cups of coffee since his first period class, so he was way more awake.
Not quite at Caf-Pow levels of crazed, though.
"As promised, today we have our first test of the semester," he said. "I'm sure you're all thrilled. If you're not, well, fake it."
Josh stood up from his desk and passed out test papers.
1. The word "democracy" comes from two Greek words. What are they and what do they mean?
2. What year was the Magna Carta signed? Why is it important in terms of the American government?
3. What three things did John Locke believe we have a right to? Which one did Jefferson change?
4. If you had been King George, how would you have reacted to reading the Declaration of Independence?
5. How does the Declaration of Independence begin (initial phrase only: Jefferson loved the compound sentence)?
"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."
[OOC: Answer the questions IC or handwave what your grade would've been]

Re: Take the test
2. 1215. It put the idea into people's head that no man (like opressive kings and stuff) was above the law. So, when the king started acting like he was, the early American's were allowed to be all, "Now, wait a second here..." and start their revolution.
3. Life, liberty and... . Well, the third one was the one Jefferson changed, changing it to the pursuit of happiness.
4. I would have laughed at the
whiney little bitches in wigs and heelsAmericans and thrown troops at them to show them what I thought of their accusations.5. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men were created equal...
